would love to get mine tuned, but what would you say would have to be done for a tune to make a significant difference.
Example: Header, DP, catback exhaust, 2.4 intake manifold.
This is because all i have right now is GMPP intake. looking to get more done in the future ,but just wondering...ya know how it is

you get more out of it with full bolt ons...cause otherwise your changing the air flow and such that the timing and tune is changed for...and will want to retune...and spend more monies
yea what i figured. I want to do more bolt ons but money is .... short. Saw someone on here with a link to a magnaflow set up for like $250. heres the link http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...alt/Categories
BTW....
TRIFECTA can tune ls, ss, and ss/sc's

Nice, this is definitely going on my to get list, hopefully around tax refund time. Should be able to find a dp by then and possibly a few other little things to maximize the tune. Looks like a great investment!

Update: Raced a friend of mine also a 2.2L the only mods that I have that he doesn't are the 2.4 manifold and tune. Gave him a 2 car length head start from like a 10 mph roll or something. I heard him take off so I punched it and the car spun all the way through 1st. Never could do this from a roll before, only a little tire spin. I hit 2nd and just start pulling hard. I shut it down at about 70 mph and had probably 5 cars on him. We were both equally impressed didn't think it would make that big of a difference. I drove his car earlier that night and it really is a night and day difference.

Really five cars holy crap...is it really that big of a diff i read the numbers and it was like a 10 hp upgrade right...whats the correct way for this trifecta tune to work. he sends you a palm pilot with the program on it and you basically plug it in and tell it what mods you have then when your done you send it back? i really want to get it, but im up at school and i want to know how easy it will be...also i had a friends dad of mine tune my car he erased the gov and said he leaned it out when im at full speed but im wondering if the tune from trifecta is worth the 275 bucks all ive read is good things but i was wondering if i got it would it get messed up cuz ive had the ecu worked on before
